So today we are hitting the subject of periods, not
something I’ve really talked about here, but hey as the majority of people who
stop by here are of the female variety I figured you all wouldn’t mind!
The lovely Camilla over at GreenBlox recently got in
touch and asked if I would like to try out one of their monthly subscription
boxes. It turns out said subscription box is one to make sure you are well
supplied ready for your time of the month. Why on earth hasn’t this been done
before?! What a great concept! Especially for girls like me who are terrible at
keeping track of when they are due on and end up doing a panic dash to
supermarket each month for tampons!
GreenBlox
offer you a tailored box for your period flow, whether that is light, medium or
heavy. I went for heavy as I am unlucky and have the worst periods. Heavy and
last for ages, damn being a girl!! This month’s box was Etsy themed, now I love
Etsy. I have a shop on there myself and I adore the awesome home mind finds you
can come across on there. So I was a little excited!
The monthly plan is £9.99 and the £3.00 for postage, so all
together it will cost you £12.99 a month.
When it arrived it was in a heavily sellotaped box which was
a bit of a fight to get into. Then all the items in the box were individually
wrapped in mint green tissue paper, some however was ripped. I was a bit disappointed
in the packaging, given the high standard of subscription boxes these days I
was expecting a lot more. It made a look a bit cheap, which is a shame.
What’s did I receive?
6 x Thornton Praline Melts
20 Tampons
20 pads
Seven
Hills Grapeseed Oil (£1.70)
I love that they send chocolates! It’s just what I crave at
this time of the month! You also get a decent amount of tampons and pads which
is fab, I just kind of wish they came in something rather than loose. The lemongrass
handmade soap smells divine and the Grapeseed Oil is supposed to be amazing for
your skin so I can’t wait to try it!
Aside from the packaging, I love the concept of this box and
its reasonable priced for what you receive. It will definitely save me the
hassle of attempting to actually be organised!
Perfect picks and a great help but the packaging lets it down xxx

I didn't even know that these boxes existed, whaaaaaat. It's been a long time since I used tampons obviously as I feel very out of the loop. The chocolate is a nice little touch, shame about the nan's christmas present tissue paper wrapping!
